Well it
is hard to believe but I only have 15 days left...Truely I dont feel
like anythings going to change...I feel like another transfer is going
to arrive and I will stay in this little town for atleast another
transfer before God sends me to another town here in Sonora...After so
long away from your family you accept that wont see them to soon
haha...So I guess what will happen in 2 weeks...
We
are having lots of success here in Imuris...The Branch is really
growing...I cant even start to explain how much really it has grown
since we got here...Here is one example before we got here about 13
people were attending this little branch...we arrived and had a meeting
with the District President in Nogales..he said that this little branch
is at risk of closing there just wasnt enough people going to church
anymore...We kind of got scared...Since then we have worked our hardest,
prayed many times every day, fasted up to 2 times a week, and have
hoped for the best for this little branch....Yesterday in Church we had
an attendance of 42 people...the little room filled as everyone bore
their testimonies. The Maintenance people told us today that they will
be fixing up our little house were we have our Sunday meetings...putting
in artificial grass, tile, new paint, and maybe even taking out a wall
to make our Sacrament Room bigger haha We have just seen this little
town turn around...We know that our efforts were just a fraction of the
work needed to have the results that we have seen here...We know that
God is greatly blessing this town and all of the members here...
Saturday
night we had a Branch Activity watching Meet the Mormons! No one has
seen that movie here so we thought we would do a huge activity and
invite everyone...All the members brought a snack and a friend :) Again
our little Sacrament room filled up with lots of members and about 15
investigators...It was great...Elder Hyatt and I were busy running
around refilling popcorn bowls and cups of Mango water...Boy were we
tired...Finishing the movie when it was showing the scene about the
missionary leaving his home for 2 years...Everyone just started
crying...After, everyone was saying good bye to us with tears in their
eyes just wanting to know more about the wonderful message that we share
for 2 years...
I sure love this work...Cant imagine my life without it....
Love you guys

Making Schmores!!!
Its kind of hard to see in the picture but it rained really hard this
week, People say that it is the hardest it has ever rained for about 70
years...You can see water coming off of the roof...its like it was a
whole river coming off that roof...Only day in my mission where my feet
were completely soaked haha...
